A woman who was apparently the slowest of a group of grab-and-run thieves at the mall was arrested May 21 after police were called to two separate mass shopliftings.
Macy’s Women’s called police to report that seven or eight suspects involved in a group grab-and-run were running from the store. At around the same time, police were called from Victoria’s Secret about a similar theft there.
Loss prevention officers spotted the suspects, described as a group of black males and females, leaving the mall. Officers gave chase in the parking lot, but the suspects ran off in separate directions.
Brandy Denise Windom was arrested laying on top of or near the items recovered, but the other suspects got away. Windom, 18, of San Francisco was arrested at around 7:07 p.m. for burglary and receiving stolen property.
Twenty jackets and 22 pairs of jeans valued at $4,023 from Macy’s were recovered, along with bras and underwear valued at $654 from Victoria’s Secret.
It’s the third time in about five weeks that area stores were hit by shoplifting gangs. The first occurred April 20, also at Victoria’s Secret, with lingerie worth more than $1,800 taken in a grab-and-run robbery by six to eight suspects, including two black males and four to six black females. Forty-four brassieres were stolen in that incident.
On May 24, a gang of thieves pulled off a similar heist, taking thousands of dollars worth of jeans from the True Religion store at Livermore’s Premium Outlets. Witnesses described the 10 suspects as four black men and six black women, all in their 20s. They escaped in a red 1980s Toyota Corolla and a silver car similar to a Ford Taurus. A spokesman for True Religion said the thieves made off with about $5,000 in merchandise; the designer jeans can run up to $400 a pair.
Maybe the stores should increase security and when they see hoardes or large groups moving through the stores they should take more notice. They should also instruct their clerks to be on the lookout for large groups. Why would ten people be shopping together? That in and of itself sounds pretty suspicious. There is strength in numbers and they overwhelm the stores,the clerks and everyone is intimidated. In this politically correct environment no one wants to be accused of racially profiling, but in this case it should have been done. Everyone is afraid to speak out so crimes like these are committed and will continue.
Spank these kids.
That’s what they do in Singapore. If you do this kind of thing, you get spanked with a cane. They don’t have a shoplifting problem over there.
In some of the”less enlightened” countires of the world they cut off the hand(s) of shoplifters.
That’ll work!
Racial/ethnic profiling would have prevented 9/11. In fact, some of the Muslim (peaceful religion-lol) hijackers were flagged to be stopped that morning but were allowed to board due to the god–profiling. Blacks are the first to throw racial bombs at each other yet are incensed if others were to suspect them of run and grab crimes they seem to be so adept in—-
“Loss prevention officers spotted the suspects, described as a group of black males and females, leaving the mall. Officers gave chase in the parking lot, but the suspects ran off in separate directions.”
Thanks for a description of the perps.
Is the fat slow one singing yet? Trash in our valley—-Bammy supporters for sure.
Thanks to Heidi for elaborating on the description. Without the contribution of her vivid imagination, we wouldn’t have known that the one suspect who was caught was “fat.”….. Or maybe it was just Heidi’s prejudice’s shining through again.
